The first of September eh? The beginning of Spring which means it’s Wattle Day here in Australia. Also means that we’re two thirds of the way through the year… For where I am, it was a nice start to the day, with a kinda cold, but comfortable temperature in the morning and a nice, wintery-spring temperature during most of the day. =D On this day, 25 years ago, the controversial events of the shoot down of Korean Air Flight 007 by Soviet Interceptors occurred. It is also the day of which the Shanghai World Financial Center officially opens! Currently the 2nd tallest completed building, but with the highest observation deck in the world, with a view of the city of Shanghai from a height of 472 metres! Hurricane Gustav is forecast to hit the coastline near New Orleans tomorrow morning as well! (Midday September 1 New Orleans time)!
Now, here’s a few strange things. If you’ve been reading my blog for the past few weeks or whatever, I had been procrastinating my Food Tech Assignment for a long time, and I had only started it the night before the due date. I expected a rather terrible mark that would give me not a very good mark for Food Tech this semester. Shockingly, I got a healthy 90% for my assessment. Along with my maths test, I also got a healthy 91% for that, despite my lack of study which to me is very odd.
Although, despite all my seemingly good marks for recent tests and assessments, things have returned to normal in science despite topping my class in two recent assessments earlier. I got an alright mark of 77.5%, which being a bit above my normal science mark, is a sign that my results are starting to return to normal. =D And, as expected, we didn’t make it to state finals for Tournament of Minds… Hopefully we find out how badly we actually performed tomorrow… Well, there’s always next year… (?) I’ve been playing around with photoshop recently… Been trying to do some “art” and I hope to have it completed sometime this week, although, taking into account my procrastination, it’ll probably be completed a lot later… If only I could get the face right… especially the eyes…
